Annotations Appearance

• Jun 28, 2021

This topic describes how to rotate an annotation and change its appearance.

Aside from the capability to rotate an annotation around its anchor point, you can use the Annotation.Angle property to rotate the annotation’s shape (see the images below).

Angle = 0	Angle = 30

In addition, the following options determine the appearance of an annotation.

• The Annotation.ShapeKind property defines an annotation’s shape form. When the ShapeKind.RoundedRectangle is specified, you can adjust its fillet with the Annotation.ShapeFillet property.
• The Annotation.ConnectorStyle property adjusts the appearance of an annotation’s connector line. The available styles are listed in the AnnotationConnectorStyle enumeration.
• The Annotation.Padding property defines the padding within an annotation’s shape.
• The TextAnnotation.Font, TextAnnotation.TextAlignment and TextAnnotation.TextColor properties adjust the display of the TextAnnotation content.
• The Annotation.BackColor and Annotation.FillStyle properties adjust the background color and fill style, respectively.
• The Annotation.Border and Annotation.Shadow properties define the border and shadow settings.
